My purpose of this research is about the possession
rate and purpose of the electronic information devices of Ritsumeikan
University students, and they how well use it.

According to PISA (Programme for
International Student Assessment) by OECD, the self-evaluation of computer
skills by Japanese 15 years old students is the lowest among the target
countries in over 40 countries. In addition, many students responded that they
don't use desktop computers and laptops, and the utilization rate of Japanese
students was lower. Additionally, according to the survey by the Cabinet
Office, ownership of smartphones and mobile phones is over 90% in Japan and
other countries. However, Japanese ownership of tablet device and desktop
computer is the lowest among the target countries, and laptop is second from
the lowest.

While being said to be an information
society, these data is too shocking for me living in Japan which an advanced
country. So I tried to clarify the current situation of how use the electronic
information devices Ritsumeikan University students by the interview and the
questionnaire.
